Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone,
I will be running in fields without fences,
I will be drinking water that is not polluted.
The strength that I lost here will be found.
The flesh and bone lost will return in spirit.
I will be young and strong again.
Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone,
I will be visiting our ancestors
Knowledge lost will be found anew.
I will truly learn the ways of the old ones,
I will learn the language of our fathers,
I will help to prepare a hearth for you,
Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone,
I will be with our brothers,
the winged Our brothers,
the four legged and in the sea
The Great Spirit will guide my steps,
My path will be true , I wait for you there,
Do not cry for this warrior when I am gone.
Remember me in laughter,
Remember me in the song of the flute,
Remember me in the beat of the drum,
Dance for me with all your heart,
Fore I will be dancing with you.
Look in your heart and I will be there.
Do not cry for this Warrior I am still here,
In your dreams, your heart and memory
I will see you again
Until then.
